  AFAIU, "-n" is used for "dry run" quite widely 
(https://www.google.com/search?q=%22n%22+%22dry_run%22). Among well-known tools 
are Perforce and CVS.

  We can use "--dry_run", of course, but the name doesn't say, that it also 
makes the tool display diff. Maybe "--show" or something similar?

  > Or maybe two parameters "--dry_run" (do not apply changes) and "-v" 
(display diffs)?

  I'm not sure anyone will ever need these options separately. Do you see how 
this could be used?
